MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCLIPES
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are evenly distributed through the food as the glass turntable revolves. This ensures that the food is cooked uniformity.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of approximately 1 inch (2.5cm). Cooking continues as the heat is dissipated through the food.
3. Cooking times will vary according to the recipe and the density, weight and water content of the food. The cooking time will also vary according to the temperature
at the start of cooking, i.e. depending on whether the food is frozen or not.

Radio and TV reception may be interfered with when microwave oven is in operation. It is similar to the interference of small
electrical appliances such as food mixers, vacuum cleaners and electric fans. This is normal.
Oven light dim.
In low power microwave cooking, oven light may become dim. This is normal.
Steam accumulating on door, hot air out of vents.
In cooking, steam may come out of food. Most will come out from vents but some may condense on cool places such as the oven
door. This is normal.
Oven started accidentally with no food in.
Although starting the oven with no food in it should be avoided, it does no damage to the oven provided it is only operated empty
1
for a very short time. It is advised that a glass or microwave safe container of water is always left in the oven to absorb any heat
should the oven be turned on accidentally。

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q: When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it does not work properly. What's wrong?
A: The microcomputer used in the oven control may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed. Unplug
the oven from the wall outlet and then plug it back in. The microcomputer will then reset for proper functioning.
Q: Why is there noise coming from the oven when using a lower power level?
A: When cooking with power other than 100%, the oven automatically switches on and off to obtain the correct power output.
The clicking noise can be heard when the oven switches on and off. This is normal
Q: Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?
A: Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been made to vent this steam.

Q: What is wrong when the oven light will not glow?
A: There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow. The light bulb has burned out or START has not been
pressed.
Q: Why do eggs sometimes burst?
A: The egg yolk may burst because of steam build-up inside the membrane. Pierce the membrane with a toothpick before
cooking it. Never microwave eggs in the shell as they may explode.
Q: How is boiling over avoided?
A: Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If you open the oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR, the food will stop boiling.
IMPORTANT NOTES
1. Before first using this oven please read this instruction manual and keep it for future reference.
2. Do not attempt to repair the oven yourself, please consult an authorised service agent.
3. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature should be carefully checked
before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
4. Check the oven and the cable regularly for damage. If there is any kind of damage, the oven should not be used.
Warning:
a. It is hazardous for anyone other than a trained person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal
of any cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
b. Never allow children to use the oven without supervision unless adequate instructions have been given so that the children are
able to use the oven in a safe way and understand the hazards of improper use.
c. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.
NOTE
• Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to try and override or tamper with the safety interlocks.
• Carefully clean door seals and sealing surfaces.
• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no
damage to the, (1) door (i.e. door is not bent or dented), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing
surfaces.
• Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently to avoid any possibility of ignition.
• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the
container.
• If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance immediately and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
• Eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode.
• If the door or door seals are damaged the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a trained person.
• Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
Bulb replacement
If the interior light bulb fails, it can be easily replaced by a qualified service engineer. Do not attempt to remove the outer casing
as this will expose live components. Please consult a qualified service engineer.
